The original ARM designs are from 1985 (approximately). There's also an ARM OpenCore http://opencores.org/project,core_arm which I wasn't aware ARM Ltd had attempted to kill yet?
T-mobile are amazingly cheap right now. For 20GBP (I guess not far off 20USD now) I have 6 months of data access on pay as you go (i.e. I pay 20GBP and nothing else for a SIM which gives me 6 months data access). That's amazingly cheap.
oh well, I hope we see the original cables released in the next few days. The cables in general are quite readable and I'd much rather go back to the source than read an article.
Yes, but shouldn't the original cables be on wikileaks already? If wikileaks have only released the cable publically isn't that kind of against their mandate? I thought they were trying to usher in an age of "scientific journalism" where original sources could be cited.
On June 24 servers in China were virally infected, causing them to redirect computers attempting to reach Google pages to an unknown web site. These attacks made Google services unavailable to many Chinese users for approximately 24 hours, and caused the company to lose 20% of its traffic on that day.
Where are the original cables? There seem to be a few talking about blocking/redirecting google in china. But I can't find those refering to "cyberattacks".
So is this a bad idea? The usually arguments are that CCTV cameras reduce privacy and when state controlled gives more power to the state (Schneier says this is the case even if the CCTV data is generally available).
However in this case, the state isn't holding the data. It's being acquired from private sources. It doesn't appear to be aggregated. It doesn't seem like you could using it for stalking. Is there a problem here?
So it's pretty cool that ARM now have a design capable of going to 2GHz but has anyone signed up to make the silicon? The A9 design has been around for a while, but I've not seen any implementations yet.
Playing devil's advocate. What from the original project was useful in developing 2nd gen sequencing? Assuming that we can now assemble human genomes de novo using Illumina reads.
The raw images from the device alone can take up this much space. 8 lanes, 300 imaging regions (tiles) per lane. Each imaged 4 times (one for each base/channel). A typical run is 37 cycles (base pairs), paired end runs (now typical) double this so:
8*300*4*37*2 =710400
On a GA1 those files are 2mb each, giving you around a terabyte and a half of of primary data to process. Image analysis takes place processing those files in to "intensity files". Those are further processed in to corrected intensities, then basecalls. Each of these steps produces a similar number of files. Some details of the process here: http://sgenomics.org/mediawiki/upload/8/80/Pipeline.pdf
Those numbers are for a GA1, the current version of the instrument has less imaging regions (100). However cycle length has increased (typically now 75+ bp).
As a side note all the tools used are "shared source" and not available under an open source license. There is a project called Swift which is an open source tool to do this: http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/btp383
It's the C programming language which is at fault here. Arrays in C aren't really arrays, they're just pointers. Most modern languages (such as D, which all C++ programmers should investigate) have bounds checking on actual arrays.
D has bounds checking on primitives? That doesn't seem like a great idea, must have a significant performance impact. Sure it prevents buffer under/overruns, but if you want to do that use a container class which does bounds checking.
You don't get both. But I'd suggest choosing someone from the anti-phorm league: http://www.antiphormleague.com/isp.php they have at least made some kind of commitment to user freedom.
Can I suggest you choose a provider who is a member of the anti-phorm league: http://www.antiphormleague.com/isp.php . They have at least made some commitment to the privacy/freedom of their users.
Nothing like the open source computing movement has ever caught fire in biology or pharmaceuticals
Informatics for Biology... Bioinformatics. Is RUN by open source software. BLAST http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAST,one of the most important Bioinformatic tools ever written, is public domain. It's paper is one of the most cited of the past 30 years http://archive.sciencewatch.com/sept-oct2003/sw_sept-oct2003_page1.htm .
Bioinformatic clusters almost universally run Linux. Almost all popular tools are written by academics and supplied under open source licenses. To the degree that I'd say closed source software finds it hard to break in to this area, not the other way round.
This is not only true of Bioinformatics, but also large scale Protein simulations. Namd p://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/ is also available under and open source (though more restrictive than GPL or BSD license). And is one of the most popular Molecular Dynamics codes available.
Some people might think these are attractive because the signal can't be intercepted as easily as wifi. However Powerlinecommunications hacking seems to be moving on nicely http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2901.en.html . My understanding is that it's sometimes possible to pick up signal leaking from other users in the building.

Yes, Photography's interesting, 'cause, you know, it's-it's a new art form, and a, uh, a set of aesthetic criteria have not emerged yet.
There seem to be fewer Airbus aircraft than Boeing, so these numbers need normalising I guess...
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_between_Airbus_and_Boeing (Deliveries summed)...
Airbus 1989-2011: 6175
Boeing 1989-2011: 9429

not really, the Kanji largely retain their meaning between Japanese and Chinese and can be used to communicate to some extent.

Or better yet could we have a like to the original cable on wikileaks?! I can't seem to find it.
Boost ( http://www.boost.org/ ) is good I also hear nice things about POCO http://pocoproject.org/
Yea. So in this case they are coming for people stealing stuff and causing damage to private property.
So erm, first they came for the people stealing peoples stuff, I did not speak because I don't like stealing other peoples stuff.
I don't see how your quote applies here.

Better:

I made a typo could you change it to this:
* * * * * curl twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/21852262.rss | html2text | head -n 3 | tail -n 1 | sed 's/new299://' | html2text | sh

Sure, but some people like the idea of physical security as well. Particularly as wifi security has suffered so many problems.
